I originally applied back in November (prior to Turkey day); was asked to send in an application on December 6th; interviewed beginning of Februrary; and a 2nd interview about 2 weeks ago. It's a 30%+ pay hit, but I don't care. Things were beginning to get rough financially.

Badass man, congrats! There are far too many of us without jobs, myself included. You're actually the first person I've heard in a long time say they were hired....if nothing else, it tells me its possible.

I'm just gonna shed some weight and join the military if I can't find a job soon.

Yeah; it's rough man. I was getting really really down; worried about EVERYTHING etc. Couldn't believe it had taken this long.

Final count; 75 resumes sent out; called back on, maybe, 8 of them. 3 interviews.

I drove around Tuesday and found some 'now hiring' signs for AutoZone, GNC, BWW etc. I was at the point where I would take/do anything.

Looks like my wife is getting her job back as well - the place she worked at that closed last fall is reopening under a new owner, and the old owner recommended her. She's even getting a bit of a raise. :thumb:

For all those CP-ers still waiting for work; hang in there. It's a b*tch, man. But things will turn around when you least expect it.

Luckily, I joined and 'did that' when I was 19; I was jokingly telling my wife that I was just going to re-enlist before I turned 32 in 5 months lol.

I think A) I'm too fat and out of shape to survive boot camp again; and B)My threshold for putting up with BS is not what it once was when I was 19.

:evil:
